Why do we need this flag at all.  We don't require users to set any flag
when dealing with shared storage for disks, we just make sure we detect
shared storage and "do the right thing" with it.

Adding this flag introduces failure scenarios, such as mgmt app not
setting the flag, but still have the TPM on shared storage, in which
case we'd be liable to take incorrect action on labelling.

With regards,
Daniel
